Functional exercise at its best.

While a lot of machines and certain exercises train our muscles individually, kettlebell exercises train your body as a whole; utilizing almost every muscle group working together.

This carries over into everyday life, because our bodies rarely use muscles in isolation, instead, they work in conjunction with each other to more efficiently perform tasks, prevent injuries, and build strength. Kettlebells train your entire body to perform at its best.

If you spend most of your day sitting, you owe it to your body to strengthen your core and improve cardiovascular health with this no-impact tool.

The best single exercise.

Incorporate cardiovascular, resistance, functional, AND flexibility training into your already busy schedule. Kettlebell movements will develop strength, endurance and flexibility at the same time, faster than any other method.

The four basic exercises (swing, clean, press, and snatch), can be used two or three times per week with variations to keep you strong, lean, and engaged.

The swing is king.

The kettlebell swing is a hinge movement, not a squat. This means that the move originates with the hips, not the knees. Every muscle in your body is involved in every rep, with a specific emphasis on the entire posterior chain.

Learning the swing correctly is the most important thing. If done right you gain all these benefits, done wrong you risk injury. We see many pictures and videos online that show the swing, unfortunately, incorrectly. All clients must start with beginner bells class or 1-on-1 sessions to learn and perfect this movement (even if you have past experience).

Elite Class of Exercises

Other moves like the deadlift and full cleans/snatches have been the top exercises for working the entire body in one movement. Kettlebells are often preferred over these moves for being safer than using a bar.

Increase Power

A proper kettlebell swing uses a powerful hip thrust, using the glutes and hamstring muscles. These make up the “power zone” along with the lower back. Even low reps of kettlebell swings will drastically increase your muscular power.

Better Muscular Endurance

Muscular endurance is your ability to generate submaximal muscular contractions for extended periods of time. Doing moderate to high reps of kettlebell swings will put your muscular endurance through the roof.

Increase Aerobic Capacity

Moderate-to-high repetitions of kettlebell swings will give your heart and lungs an incredible workout. Anyone who’s ever tried the 25+ swings in a row or a class of 500 total swings will know that by the end, your lungs are dying and your heart feels like it’s going to beat out of your chest. All without the impact of running.

Increase Anaerobic Capacity

Kettlebells are a perfect match for interval train, the constant acceleration of your breathing and heart rate during HIIT will boost your anaerobic capacity. These short bursts of power can increase your total power output.

Full-Body Training

Kettlebell swings activate a the crazy amount of muscles in a single exercise. They work everything from your core to your shoulders, quads, hamstrings, glutes (a.k.a. butt muscles), and back. That’s a lot of muscles at once!
